Jump Frequency of Cd Tracer Atoms in β-Mn

Article Preview

Abstract:

The jump frequency of Cd tracer atoms in pure and Al-doped b-Mn was determined from measurements of quadrupole relaxation using the method of perturbed angular correlation of gamma rays. The jump frequency of Cd in b-Mn containing about 4.5 at.% Al had an activation enthalpy of 0.67(3) eV. In pure b-Mn at 950 K, the jump frequency was a factor about 8 larger than the value of 9.2 MHz in the alloy. Information was also obtained about the sluggish kinetics of the a-Mn to b-Mn polymorphic transformation.
